Tomorrow, on Monday, September 21st at 18:30, Haifux will gather to
hear David Khosid talk about
Advanced Gdb
This is a re-run of a Telux talk from Spetember 6th, 2009. In view of
guy keren's recent talks, the focus of the Haifux talk will be
automating repetitive tasks, a little more on debugging STL containers
etc.
Abstract of original talk from Telux:
In general, I will be sharing my discovery with you: When the
debugging of modern software is required, basic GDB techniques are
insufficient, but new techniques can be created from the nearly 160
commands available in GDB. "Modern software" refers to multi-
threading, using STL and other libraries, IPC, signals and exception
mechanisms. In this lecture, I will explain techniques for debugging
large, modern software written in C++.
The presentation will be accompanied by vivid examples for all the topics.
Covered topics:
1. Preparing a program for debugging; starting the debug session
2. Controlling GDB: getting help, navigating, using breakpoints and
watchpoints
3. Extending GDB through user-defined commands
4. Analyzing STL containers and algorithms
5. Dealing with multi-threading, C++ exceptions
6. Managing signals
7. Automating repetitive tasks on the almost unchanging code base
8. Remote debugging
